Why I love arts and craft

Arts and craft is a renewal process.

You have to focus, which eliminates the brain being distracted. Focusing on a craft such as miniature houses or LEGO or building something gets your brain working. The challenge is the art and that aim for perfection and an outcome of the art and craft that makes you smile and feel proud of yourself for conquering such a quest.  

Whereas diamond painting, is complete relaxation. I can either put on music or a movie while I diamond paint or I can diamond paint in silence and explore the day’s events through my mind. 

Scrapbooking brings out my joy of no rules to crafting. I can be so creative and flexible and do what I am in the mood for to really bring out my soul to play. 

With paint by numbers I feel like I am an artist. If you ever wanted to feel like an artist, get a paint by numbers kit. It’s also relaxing and the outcome is liberating.

Crocheting my first blanket

So I decided that crocheting animals etc is pretty stressful. Not really stressful but not relaxing. A cool end result but I wanted to find something to crochet where I didn’t have to count the stitches or focus on the different type of stitches. So I decided to crochet a simple blanket.  I just wanted to use a small amount of stitches and not count them. I didn’t want to do anything fancy. But I still wanted to crochet. I believe if I could find something to stitch that I could just relax doing than it was worth it. I started googling a simply blanket planet using single crochet stitch. And I found one. It’s simple start off with the first row with a chain stitch and then turn it over and do the rest with a single crochet stitch. Brilliant. So I started crocheting a baby blanket. It didn’t work out. The sides were uneven and the blanket was all different lengths. So I googled and realised after I do a row of single crochet stitches, I have to do one chain stitch at the end before ...

Paint by numbers revival

  For a few years, a few years ago (lol), I did some paint by numbers. I really enjoyed the painting and the end result looks amazing.  I have quite a lot of hobbies now and my last two paint by numbers I never finished. I think because some of the paint had dried, because I left the painting too long at times and the other painting I just didn’t enjoy the picture, so they didn’t get completed. I then got distracted with new hobbies such as diamond painting, which is similar to paint by numbers. With diamond painting you match the drill to the number to create a picture.  However, I have redecorated my home and put up my finished paint by numbers. So I decided to try another one. A few years ago, I had to buy the wooden frame with the canvas and build it together but now you have the option to buy a ready frame, where the company puts the frame and canvas together for you.  My most recent purchase is this beautiful image:  If you are interested, please find the ...
